Spicy Satay Skewers
Type: BBQ
Chicken Cut: Thigh
Style: Asian
Ingredients
500g Steggles Thigh Fillets
Salt, Pepper
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Clove Garlic, Crushed
Satay Sauce:
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter
3/4 Cup Water
2 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1/8 Teaspoon Chilli Powder, Or To Taste
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Grated Onion
2 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds
Bamboo Skewers, Soaked
Instructions
Mix all satay sauce ingredients together in a saucepan, heat to a simmer. Keep on heat for 5 minutes and allow to cool.
Cut thigh fillets in 1/2 down the centre. Cut the thinner side into 2 pieces and the thicker side into 3 pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemon juice and garlic. Stir to mix through.
Pour marinade over chicken, cover and stand to marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, leave overnight if possible.
Soak bamboo skewers in water. Thread 4 or 5 pieces onto each skewer until almost touching. If pushed too close together, the centre will not cook sufficiently.
Heat BBQ and oil grill bars or place a wire cake rack over bars. Arrange skewers on the rack and cook on a high heat for 15 minutes. Turn frequently and brush with remaining sauce. Transfer straight on to grill plate and cook for 5 minutes until brown and cooked through. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with hot boiled rice and a spoonful of fruit chutney.
